Last weekend, City Dock was packed with classic wooden boats for an annual regatta.

Next week, it’s a chance to see perhaps THE wooden boat: Pride of Baltimore II.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday and noon to 7 pm. Thursday, visitors can explore the deck of the replica 19th-century sailing ship, speak with captain and crew and learn about the history of Baltimore clippers. The ship is a roving ambassador for Baltimore and Maryland and visits Annapolis when it returns to the Chesapeake Bay and its homeport city.

Pride II is not accessible to those with disabilities. Contact the ship before going if you have any mobility restrictions. Ship tours are free. For more information, call 410-539-1151 or visit pride2.org

Baltimore Comic Conthis weekend may be the exact opposite of a trip for a hayride or a visit to a replica sailing ship.

Comic books have been a staple of American popular culture since the late 1930s, when Superman, Batman, The Flash and a host of other costumed heroes hit the scene.

You’ll find all of them, as well as their modern-day counterparts, at this three-day celebration of panel-by-panel storytelling. There’ll be panels and workshops, vendor tables (with more back issues than you might think possible), artist appearances, a costume contest, and even a concert by Maryland resident Lynda Carter, TV’s Wonder Woman (7:30 p.m. Friday, $35-$1,000).Con hours are 1 to 7 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Baltimore Convention Center, 1 W. Pratt St. $25-$35 daily, $65-$150 for a three-day pass. baltimorecomiccon.com.

The stories will explore oyster-harvesting practices, the late 1800s Maryland-Virginia oyster wars, and the life cycle of the Eastern oyster. Hands-on activities include dissection of an oyster, examination of antique and modern harvesting tools, and habitat investigation.

The event takes place at 1:30 p.m. on the converted waterman’ s house, 1418 E. West Shady Side Road, Shady Side. $10-$15. captainaverymuseum.org/.
